"This is from Cookin' Cousins, who are affiliated with Honeyville Farms. If you don't have powdered peanut butter, I'd start with 1/4 cup of regular peanut butter and keep adding slowly until you have a mixture you can work with; i.e., roll into balls. Prep times doesn't include the time to cook and cool the quinoa. Cooking time is the time these need to sit in the fridge before serving."

Quick little pick me up healthy snack with just 2 Weight Watchers points per serving. This made 25. I used dark chocolate chips and omitted the pumpkin seeds. I think it would be even more awesome with toasted chopped walnuts instead of sunflower seeds.
